Maya Python Error

[bayareadeck]

Running Maya 2022.
In code below I would like to use
a variable with the setAttr() function
to move a locator to a different position.
Getting this error in the script editor:
line 2: Invalid argument 1, '['locator1']'. Expected arguments of type ( list, )

import maya.cmds as cmds
Loc = cmds.spaceLocator( p=(0, 0, 0))
cmds.setAttr(Loc,'.translate', 10,20,30)

Hi!

Try the following:

Loc = cmds.spaceLocator( p=(0, 0, 0))
cmds.setAttr(Loc[0]+'.translate', 10,20,30)

That was it !!

and shorter than this:

loc = mc.spaceLocator(p=(0, 0, 0))
mc.setAttr('{0}.translate'.format(loc[0]) , 10, 20, 30)
